Crest - AYAS

This is a useful stop to meet friends who may be skiing elsewhere in the system as access to it is good from all areas. Sensible cafe service and also a full service restaurant. We preferred the cafe for speed. Hot snacks, coffee and drinks.

If you go through the first bit of the restaurant you get to the self service section but they will serve you. We have always eaten with Ski2 vouchers and have had an enormous portion of lasagne and a small carafe of red wine without needing to spend any extra euros! The hot chocolates in the cafe bit at the front are delicious and just what the kids need after a day at ski school

We ate here the other day having taken the gondola from Champoluc village. The menu is quite limited, and even more limited if using ski2 lunch vouchers. We both had a hot dog sandwich (actually a panini) with chips- the chips costing an extra €4pp for a small portion which i thought a little excessive seeing as they werent particularly good. The paninis were ok but rather boring. Its nice to sit outside on the terrace and enjoy the view, but if you take the next gondola to Ostafa there's a far nicer bar/restaurant with even better views.
